Lyrics
When I was a young man
Reflecting on the speaker's youth.
I went down to hell and fought my way back.
Describing a challenging experience or period.
Fought my way back.

Still remember those faces
Recalling individuals from the past.
So many won't be seen ever again…
Mentioning those who may have been lost.
Never again.
Reiterating the sense of permanent loss.
The sound of the firing guns I' ll never forget.
Expressing the enduring impact of gunfire sounds.
Death at every turn.
Describing the omnipresence of death.
When I close my eyes I'm back in the frontline.
Reliving intense memories of being on the frontline.
After the years have past.

I still dream I'm in there and the war never ends…

The war never ends.

The loss of our innocence.
